Brad Boles is a lifelong Oklahoman, successful businessman, and conservative leader with deep roots in the communities he serves. Born and raised in Marlow, Brad graduated from college with an MBA in Finance and built his career by growing his family’s manufacturing business from 100 employees to nearly 500 before selling it to a Fortune 500 company. His leadership earned national recognition, including being named one of the fastest-growing manufacturing companies in America by Inc. Magazine.
After Wilco’s success, Brad co-founded Philtek Services, which now employs over 100 people across eight states and was recently recognized as one of the fastest-growing private companies in America. His entrepreneurial experience gives him firsthand knowledge of what it takes to grow jobs, balance budgets, and strengthen Oklahoma’s economy.
Brad’s record of service extends beyond business. He has served as Mayor of Marlow, President of the Marlow Chamber of Commerce, a School Board Member, and Deacon and Treasurer at First Baptist Church Marlow. Since 2018, Brad has represented Grady and Stephens Counties in the Oklahoma House of Representatives, where he currently chairs the House Energy & Natural Resources Oversight Committee.
In the legislature, Brad has been recognized multiple times for his conservative leadership, pro-growth policies, and strong support for Oklahoma’s energy, manufacturing, and agriculture industries. His landmark Behind the Meter legislation has already generated billions in new energy investments across the state.
Brad and his wife Michelle live in Marlow with their two children, Kristin and Matthew. As Corporation Commissioner, Brad will bring his successful private sector experience, proven conservative values, and pro-jobs vision to work for the people of Oklahoma.
Focused on Protecting Ratepayers, Supporting Energy Jobs, and Growing Oklahoma’s Economy
Brad will ensure fair utility rates, fight unnecessary regulations, and put ratepayers first. Oklahomans deserve reliable, affordable energy and utility services without being burdened by government overreach.
Oklahoma is blessed with abundant natural resources. Brad will defend our oil, gas, and electric industries from federal overreach and radical environmental policies that threaten jobs and energy security.
As author of transformational economic development policies like Behind the Meter, Brad has delivered billions in new investments to Oklahoma. As Commissioner, he will continue to champion policies that grow our energy sector while protecting our land, water, and air.
Brad understands that a strong economy starts with supporting Oklahoma businesses. He will work to streamline regulations, cut red tape, and ensure the Corporation Commission helps—rather than hinders—private sector growth.
As a proven conservative, Brad will always fight to protect Oklahoma families, defend free markets, and keep government accountable to the people it serves.
